Abstract
This chapter highlights the mismatch between agile practices and traditional software delivery contracts. A higher degree of trust and communication between client and supplier is required by contracts that reflect agile principles, since both parties share a responsibility for eliminating risks and uncertainties, and working efficiently toward successful project completion. The chapter sets up a framework for characterizing contract models by project character and model of cooperation that will be used to discuss different approaches to traditional and agile contracting in the following chapters.
